Soft Magnetic Composites

– enabling more efficient electromagnetic designs

Do you want to design and produce more compact, high-performance electromagnetic components?

The intensifying electrification trend in the automotive industry along with calls for high-efficiency, low-cost industrial applications will drive the demand for energy- and cost-efficient electromagnetic components. Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) materials play a fundamental role in this conversion, making it possible to manufacture more compact and cost-efficient motor and inductor solutions compared to using traditional designs.

SMC materials are made of iron powder particles coated with an electrically insulating layer and can be formed into complex shapes by means of powder metallurgy, thereby allowing three-dimensional magnetic circuit design.

The main benefits of SMC solutions for both motor design and production processes are:

Compact design – both size and weight of the components can be reduced

Höganäs offers design services in combination with a wide range of SMC materials with unique 3D flux properties, ideal for new motor designs. Electromagnetic components made from our SMC materials can provide unique values to a number of electric applications for automotive as well as industrial use.

Our Soft Magnetic Composites can be used in a wide range of different applications such as:
